This is a shell issue, not an ffmpeg issue.

Add quotes (either single or double) around the URL, e.g.

ffmpeg 
"rtsp://10.110.1.158:554/StreamingSetting?version=1.0&ChannelID=1&ChannelName=Channel1&action=getRTSPStream&sessionID=7936398"

Please make sure you understand how the shell interprets the special 
characters "&", "?", "*", "!", "<", ">", "$", "\" and others - and also 
how single quoting, double quoting, and escaping (e.g. "\*") differ.
